Auysh, there's a mod_security module enabled on your server. Please contact your hosting provider to disable it completely or configure it properly.

@ross I contacted my hosting provider for disabling the mod_security module but they say that it cannot be disabled for the entire site and they want specific paths to the parts in which I wish to disable the mod_security module.
Which paths should I give them?
I have video,video in newsfeed , cinematic video , photos and links-digg style , plugins installed.

This is does not work that way. You shouldn't add the separate pathes to the white list, you should change the settings of the mod_security module, otherwise, I believe that you will have to add all oxwall software files to the white list to make the site works.
you need to ask them to change the configuration to make the checking not so sctrict as it is now.
We cannot tell you for sure what exactly.
The module has a setting to block request by keywords and if you add some file to the whitelist, but your request has a word which is blocked then your request will be also blocked.
